Friday, May 2, 2008 – We have done it again. Huzzah, if we do say so ourselves.
Thousands of copies of yet another issue of the Nation’s Oldest Newspaper™ have been distributed in Portsmouth and the surrounding towns of the Piscataqua. Hundreds more are at the Post Office, on their way (via First Class Mail!) to [...]

Friday, April 18, 2008 – As is our current practice, now that our April 18 issue is on the streets and in the mail (First Class, no less!) we’re posting the previous fortnight’s paper (Vol. 252, No. 14, dated April 4) here, for the instant gratification of all you freeloading, silicon-based life-forms out there.
Our subscribers, [...]

Saturday, April 5, 2008 – Nil desperandum, Gazette fans.

Friday, March 7, 2008—Seriously. We’re giving away free pdfs of last fortnight’s paper. Why not? We have the technology. Just mash this link here, or click on that self-referential picture to the right, or click on the link at left, and go to our “Download a Semi-Recent Copy” page.

Friday, February 29, 2008 — It’s a good thing this year had an extra day in it. We don’t know how we’d have managed otherwise. Not that we have things under control here. That will never happen; we’ll always be outnumbered, we’ll always be outgunned. But at least we’ve gotten caught up in a few [...]
